Holy crap, that's freakin' huge. That'll be awesome if they pull that off. The main thing missing that I wish was there was a rating per race. Would sure be nice to play an offrace without having to trash your rating on your main.

Global play, finally, these are AMAZING updates. Cannot wait for HotS, past few weeks I have been getting tired of SC2, especially because of the interface, now I'm very excited for the introduction of the new units, and new BNET is already looking fantastic, glad that blizzard is actually listening to the community and giving us what we need to actually grow.

You guys realise that unranked matchmaking is already in the game right? Just goto custom games and choose a 1v1 map....

But That customgame system doesnt factor in skill level, this one does, and its probably based off of the ladder pool.
Whereas you get to pick the map in a custom game.
Standard.

Hey guys, I made some additional suggestions to the features that were introduced today @ the bnet forums. I put it there with the hopes that someone working @ blizz will at least take a look at them. If any of you want to chime in and provide support/suggestions to my comments, the link will be in the spoiler below.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I'm glad these features are being implemented; better late than never.

I might have to reread but does this mean some of these features will be test-able at MLG Anaheim or at the beta following it? Or, we won't be able to "test" it until it fully releases?

Still, excited.

since they are adding global play, you can use each server for a different race.

All of those should've been in the game at the SC2 release, but I suppose one should be happy they actually add them at all, which I had my doubts they ever would. If they fix the custom game system as well, I'll be a happy camper.
1000 at least.

Thank god technology is advancing so quickly these days. It was only a year or so ago that the technology just wasn't there yet, but now it is.

Now I'm even more excited for HotS haha.

Most of these features should have been present since the launch of sc2 in my opinion, but hey, at least we're getting them.

Blizzard is so smart. Release WOL missing tons and tons of features, people will play because its SC2. People start getting bored and anticipation for the expansion isn't high, decide to release all the features the first game should have came with, met with applause for "listening to the community". Sorry guys maybe I'm just a cynical prick but all of this should have been in the game when I bought it over two years ago. At this point its hard to get excited about them including everything that should have been included from day one.

Also still no LAN. I don't care about it but a lot of people do.


Seconded. I think Blizzard is starting to lose touch after its huge success with WoW. WoW just became downhill ever since 3rd expansion came out and SC2 is just a crappy version of SC1 with better graphics and interface (not even that great compared to the other games that came out in 2010). They should really step it up in HoTS or I don't think I will buy anymore of their games.
That logic is post hoc ergo proctor hoc

Wow, I'm really impressed and pleased with these features. I hope Blizzard actually follows through on implementing these.
